He told FATV: "Ash is on for his 100th cap now, it's well deserved and hopefully he'll get that tomorrow. I'll just keep plugging away and keep doing the best that I can for my club, if that brings chances for my country as well I'll be happy with that."

Baines also revealed that he is looking forward to pitting himself against the South American giants, and feels that the home fans will relish a clash with the five-time World champions.

He added: "It's not often that Brazil come over, so it's an exciting game and one that I'm sure appeals to the public as well, hopefully we can play well."
